Why Is Neil DeGrasse Tyson A Moron

Posted at 11:00 am on January 19, 2017 by streiff

One of the hilarious things about watching the left in action is that it will believe virtually anything so long as the right person tells them it is so.* Back when I first started this RedState gig, in 2004 during the hottest part of the Iraq War, lefties who frequented this site would throw out “Well, Kevin Drum says [fill in your favorite bullsh** meme about Iraq here] or “Juan Cole says [fill in your favorite anti-Semitic trope here]” as though it meant something more that admitting they were incapable of reason on their own. The same goes for science… you know, that field the left believes it really loves. You find non-scientist and genuinely creepy Bill Nye being quoted non-ironically. But the favorite is serial fabulist and pop science impressario Neil DeGrasse Tyson. (We’ve covered his exploits previously in these link-filled posts here | here | here.)

DeGrasse Tyson is one of those guys who thinks because he has a high public profile and academic credentials that he is suddenly smart about everything. This, keep in mind, is the guy who applauded Pope Francis for mentioning the Big Bang Theory

Pope Francis announced that he now embraces the science of Evolution & the Big Bang. Hmm. I wonder if he just watched Cosmos?

All the while he was cluelessly unaware that the originator of the Big Bang Theory was Georges Lemaître, a Roman Catholic priest.

So now we have his newest brain-fart which has totally amazed the left:

In 1927 Lindbergh flew from NY to Paris. 45 yrs later, in 1972 we last walked on the Moon. 45 yrs later, in 2017 we… we… we…

Where to even begin. How about the device you’re reading this post on. It really didn’t exist in 1972. It certainly didn’t exist in a form that you could carry in your pocket and which would be within the financial reach of Third World peasants. Check your life expectancy. Infant mortality rate. If you have to look to outer space for a metric of human progress, how about the Hubble space telescope and the international space station? How about Mars Exploration Rover?

This guy is billed as the next Carl Sagan by Leftists, but I don't think he is even close.

BTW, the Big Bang theory this clown is clinging to was debunked last year because the math doesn't work....

There's math to how nothing exploded and created everything.

I wouldn't necessarily call him a moron, more like a useful idiot.

I always enjoy watching his shows. Cosmos was great.

On the other hand.... Bill Nye.  Now there is a moron's moron.

What gets me is that old Neil has that same Obama snark that no matter what he says, it is the absolute truth and nothing but the truth, period--  Sound the trumpets!

While I do believe in science I also have complete faith that there is a supreme being in the universe, yet I do not think he sit up nights worrying himself sick about us.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson Accused of Raping a Former Student
October 25, 2017 by David G. McAfee

I am only reporting allegations, and not encouraging anyone to presume Tyson’s guilt. In fact, I firmly believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and this is no exception. I am only delivering the relevant information from the perspectives of the parties involved.

Since the downfall of Harvey Weinstein, the movie producer who has been accused of sexual harassment or assault by more than 40 women, people all around the world have come forward to call out abuse by men in power. The most recent name on that list is popular astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Last week, a journalist writing for Medium listed Tyson as a “screen celebrity” who had been accused of “rape.” As a fan of Tyson’s activism and writing, and someone who has met him in person (I also quote him several times in my new book, No Sacred Cows), I decided to delve deeper into the allegation and tell the whole story (as it has been reported from both sides).   ...

I especially liked the first episode of the NDGT "Cosmos." 

[mountaineer]

So far I'm not seeing this sexual assault story anywhere else.

[kevindavis007]

I find him to be a pompous a**. Along with Bill Nye the fake science green fascist guy.

[goatprairie]

"Along with Bill Nye the fake science green fascist guy."

If some guy goes around calling himself "The Science Guy," shouldn't he be an actual scientist? You know, for credibility reasons.
If I went around calling myself "The Carpentry Guy," shouldn't I be a trained carpenter?  If I called myself "The Chef Guy," shouldn't I  have been a chef at a good restaurant?

The "Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering" guy doesn't have the pizazz.

There is something about him I can't put my finger on that rubs me the wrong way. Astronomer Mike Smith has it too. Maybe they think they are so smart and the rest of us are underlings and should be worshipping at their feet.

My dad met Einstein and Godel when they lived in Princeton and thought they were nice down to earth people. Maybe that's the difference.

As for Sagan, he's partially responsible for me wanting to be an astronomer. I loved his version of Cosmos.

I can tell you why Tyson rubs me the wrong way: because he's always pompously right, and much of the time he's dead wrong.

If the rape allegation is true, there's another reason not to like him!

I only use two and an initial so I guess I'm cutting it close.

Check out DrudgeReport- big one out of Hollywood broke last night.

Hey. If my mom calls you by all three names, you'd better sure as hell, take it seriously.

The rape allegation finally getting some traction:

     Former Grad Student Accuses Neil De Grasse Tyson Of Rape
Tchiya Amet says the professor drugged her and demanded sex back in 1984.
     

ByEmily Zanotti
October 30, 2017

A woman who attended grad school with Neil deGrasse Tyson says the now-famous astrophysicist drugged and raped her at the University of Texas back in 1984.

Tchiya Amet tweeted her allegations as part of the "#MeToo" campaign — a social media-based effort to help women reveal incidents of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and rape in their past. Amet made the same claims in 2014 and again in 2016, and resurfaced a blog post from 2014 as part of the effort.  ...

Tyson hasn't commented on the allegations, though it appears that some in the media were asking him for a response as far back as last year. Amet says that when she confronted Tyson, he was "totally confused" and said nothing.

David McAfee, an outspoken atheist and author — and fan of Tyson — has been trying to get Tyson to answer the allegations, ostensibly to clear his name, but so far Tyson has refused to comment.    ...
